What would we expect to see in the New Testament if these authors thought Jesus to be a man and not a god? What would we expect to see if they thought he was a god but not a man? And what would we expect to see in these book if the authors thought that Jesus was a “godman,” one of three “Persons” within the triune God?
The answers, when we compare them to what is actually in the New Testament, are most illuminating. And this extended argument can’t be accused of “assuming unitarianism.” Observations like these are part of why many are switching from a trinitarian to a unitarian understanding of New Testament theology and christology.
Because of my many slides, I recommend excellent the video version of this new lecture from August 2021 in Antioch, Tennessee. And the arguments may be easier to follow with this three-page handout.
